Around Dornie

I loved our AirBNB overlooking Loch Long and Loch Alsh. We lived up a road called Camuslongart and it was so so peaceful there. I wished we’d had longer to just sit and stare across the water but we have been so busy trying to make the most of our time seeing different places. We did get to see a seal here and herons regularly gave us a fly past but the otters remained elusive.

The light and weather changed constantly and I tried to capture it in paint a couple of times. More work needed still on both now. Here are just a few photos to show just how much the view changed whilst we were here. It includes a picture of Eilean Donan Castle which you could actually see from our kitchen window! Its one of the most iconic Scottish castles originally fortified in the 13th century. It played a major part in the Jacobite risings in the 17th and 18th centuries and more recently in the films Highlander and James Bond The World is not Enough (1999). We didn’t actually visit just sneaked in the car park to take some pics.

Yup, Dornie is a very special place and I’d love to go back and explore on the doorstep a little more.
